| Building in lockdown for the last 20 minutes. Has anyone heard anything on the cause? |

| Wow. So I guess this is gonna be a weekly occurrence. Where is MCPS security? They are failing. |

| OP here. Apparently there are a number of police cars outside of the school. But not clear what is going on. |

| Either someone brought a gun to school or said they had a gun. Not sure of the details, but kids are sheltering in place right now. |

| Newport Mill is on lockdown too, which is logical enough given the two school’s proximity. |

Well look, you didn’t need an SRO. The real cops handled it just like they should. |

| The police are walking kids out class by class now. My DS said they don't know if there was actually a gun or just some kid making a threat. |

What we NEED is gun control. |

This is terrifying. There is no barrier or deterrence to prevent kids from bringing weapons on school grounds. Why is everyone ok with this? We go through screening at the airport to avoid this stuff but despite countless incidents at schools, we continue to let it be a free-for-all. I guess they're waiting for enough kids to die or get hurt before they do something drastic. Even though Magruder already happened on MCPS's watch. |
